The Aims of Education
Alfred North Whitehead
Paragraph
Alfred Whitehead, as you can tell, was a very intelligent individual. In the first listed article White head named one of his essays, The Aims of Education which he delivered as his presidential address to the Mathematical Association of England in 1916. Within his address he spoke about teaching in British schools but as he went on it evolved into teaching not only in England but also in America where he consequently stated that "the general principles apply equally to both countries". In the second article there is a mini biography of Mr. Whitehead including when he became a professor and some of his greatest works. In one of his works (which I found interesting because I'm a nerd like that) titled, The Principle of Relativity, he challenged Einstein's general theory of relativity.
